Who is Amanda Towler? What is the dark web? What does that to do with cheesy summer crime thriller novels that DocForeman reads to “relax” during the summer? And how does this relate to things we should learn about, things we should study, and how we might think about suicide and social media?

WE’RE LIVE and back from our holiday hiatus! Watch the live stream here:

Amanda Towler of Hyperion Gray began her career as a geopolitical intel analyst, and a few years ago she incidentally fell into the world of infosec (information security) and software development, where she promptly learned everything the hard way. Her official title is “Queen Overlord of All Things Business-y” but she is also the project manager, the bean counter, the coffee and tea maker, the make-sure-you-eat-something-er, the are-you-sure-you-want-to-do-that-er and the do-whatever-needs-doing-er. She is absolutely thrilled to get to spend every day hanging out with the smartest, coolest people she’s ever met and watching them work their magic, while she keeps the administrative monkeys off their backs and sits in all the meetings so they don’t have to.
